Macan concept

Those who prefer to blaze a trail of their own don’t need to follow the lead of others. That´s how we feel about vehicles which are known as compact SUVs: five doors, five seats, all-wheel drive – and of course a higher sitting position. But aren’t they lacking a certain something?

Something that adds a little life, lets us enjoy a more intimate relationship with the road and delivers intense driving pleasure. A concept that boasts plenty of space for hobbies, leisure and sport. But no room for compromise. Compact, concentrated and intensive, but still powerful. Practical, but never ordinary.

It is by these standards that we created the Macan, and saw it emerge with seven distinct guises. Each one a sports car. Each one unmistakable in its own segment. Each one a genuine Porsche – from design and driving dynamics to equipment specification. From our dynamic entry-level model to the ultra sporty S variant and the uprated GTS model, and from the efficient diesel-engined marathon runner to the Turbo, which sets performance standards in its vehicle class.

The new MacanTurbo makes up the leading edge of the series with the Performance Package and a top speed of 169 mph. With it, our engineers prove that the Macan Concept can keep on improving.

PorscheExclusive Manufaktur once again highlights this in the form of a very special model: the MacanTurboExclusive Performance Edition, based on the most powerful vehicle in the model range and boasting exclusive equipment. Both in the interior and the exterior. It underlines what PorscheExclusive Manufaktur has always stood for: craftsmanship and attention to detail.

All Macan models are developed, tested and built in keeping with the Porsche philosophy. That’s where we take sporty style and performance from the racetrack and inject it into everyday driving. We make it as efficient as possible – and, of course, just as safe and comfortable. No efforts were spared until our engineers achieved their overriding development objective: the first sports car among compact SUVs.

The Macan – built for an intensive life in which the thirst for experience, thrills and spills are ever-present, and in which new challenges are a permanent driving force. Built for a life that refuses to be hemmed in by conventions and feels all the more authentic for it. Direct and intimate.

A sports car that gives us what we’re looking for, even in our everyday life: that feeling of being alive.

The PorscheMacan. Life, intensified.

Exterior design

The face of every model in the Macan range lays bare the dominant sporty genes of their hereditary line. Markers include the characteristic headlights, which are recessed in the bonnet. The large, imposing air intakes of the front apron are just waiting to inhale life. Every single second.

The bonnet stretches through to the wheel arches. This gives the front a broad and powerful presence and reminds us of the legendary Porsche 917, which won countless victories in the early 1970s – including at the 24h of Le Mans, where it held the distance record for 39 years.

The side profile is typically Porsche. From this angle, every muscle appears flexed – like a predator ready to pounce. The roof line slopes distinctively down towards the rear, drawing the customary sports car contour that promises excellent aerodynamics. Our designers call it the Porsche flyline.

A visual highlight of the Macan is the sideblades. Not only do they set a sporty accent, their design pays homage to the 918 Spyder. They make the proportions of the doors appear slimmer and the flanks seem much sleeker and sportier. Sideblades are available with a paint finish in matt black, Lava Black, in the exterior colour of the vehicle or – for a particularly exclusive statement – in carbon. A high-gloss black finish is reserved exclusively for the Turbo Exterior Package.

The MacanTurboExclusive Performance Edition is fitted with the Turbo exterior package as standard. But in a form specifically designed for this special edition: the sideblades painted in black (high-gloss) are individually finished with an accent strip in Carmine Red and "Macan turbo" model designation. The front spoiler and rear apron are also painted in black (high-gloss) and sportily emphasised by accent strips in Carmine Red. The "PORSCHE" logo in black (high-gloss) on the rear and "Macan turbo" model designation in Carmine Red complete this harmonious overall image.

In sizes of up to 21 inches, the wheels of the Macan are equally eye-catching. Each particular Macan model is recognisable by its brake calipers: black on the Macan, titanium grey on the S variants and red on the GTS and Turbo models. Typically Porsche.

The classic Porsche sports car design reveals itself at the rear: slender at the top, widening into broad shoulders above the rear wheels – a homage to the 911. The styling of the tailgate gives the rear end a particularly harmonious form. For convenience, the tailgate on all Macan models is equipped with an automatic powerlift function. The slimline LED taillights have three-dimensional proportions, which gives them an extraordinary appearance of depth – and captures your attention. The overall effect is to make the Macan look low, wide and thus intimate with the road – like any genuine Porsche.

Of course, our engineers took great care to ensure that the interior of the Macan is just as intensive with sports car sensations.

Interior design

As a creator of sports cars, we know that driver and car must form a single entity. As such, you do not simply sit in the Macan – the ergonomic architecture integrates you into the vehicle. The three-dimensional arrangement of the controls lends the interior a cockpit-style layout. In typical Macan fashion, the sporty front seats convey a sense of height above the road but a firm connection with it.

This ambience can be made even more exclusive – with the Turbo interior package solely available for MacanTurbo models in a choice of two contrasting colours: Rhodium Silver and Garnet Red. A truly eye-catching feature is the full leather interior in black, with the use of Alcantara® on the seat centres, centre console armrest and door armrests. The front seat belts and outer rear seats, decorative stitching and embroidered "turbo" logo on the headrests are finished in the contrasting colour, once again demonstrating that the MacanTurbo doesn't only have a commanding presence on the road – but also exemplifies genuine exclusivity.

However, this can be further enhanced: with the MacanTurboExclusive Performance Edition and standard Turbo interior package in Garnet Red, which in this version includes elegant decor in Piano Finish Black, as well as high-quality materials such as carbon. What's so special? The Garnet Red accent strips on the decorative panels painted in Piano Finish Black on the dashboard and front and rear door trims. The dashboard also features the exclusive, silver-coloured signature: MacanTurboExclusive Performance Edition.

The door sill guards in carbon with Garnet Red accent strips also bear this signature, reflecting this special edition's specific designation, as does the illuminated "Macan turbo" logo.

The MacanTurboExclusive Performance Edition boasts a host of additional features. Such as the Sport Chrono stopwatch with a circumferential ring painted in Garnet Red (satin finish). And the PDK gear selector in aluminium trimmed with Garnet Red leather. The vehicle key painted in Carmine Red and key pouch in black leather with embroidered "turbo" logo and Garnet Red decorative stitching show that we always pay close attention to detail.

Profound sportiness is a question of inner attitude, and this is answered emphatically by the new GTS interior package – reserved exclusively for the Macan GTS. Stitching and seat belts, the rev counter and the ‘GTS’ logo in Carmine Red or Rhodium Silver lend the interior an even more dynamic tone. In addition, selected items upholstered, as standard, in Alcantara® highlight only too clearly the sporty genes that the Macan GTS has inherited.

The instrument panel, with its cluster of three dials, is always in view – just like in a classic sports car. In the centre: the rev counter. To the right: the instrument cluster display. This shows a range of useful information as well as a host of new functions introduced with the latest version of Porsche Communication Management (PCM).

Thanks to the ascending centre console – a typical feature of a sports car – you don’t have very far to reach from the steering wheel to the PDK gear selector and most important vehicle functions. The ignition lock, as ever, is closest to the door – typically Porsche.

The three-spoke multifunction Sports steering wheel is inspired by the design of the 918 Spyder – and an established motorsport principle: keep your hands on the wheel. Two manually operated and ergonomically positioned gearshift paddles enable fast and sporty gear changes.

Sound and navigation systems follow the ergonomics philosophy. Equipped with a high-resolution colour touchscreen, they offer intuitive ease of use.

On the subject of customisation, you can make the interior even more individual thanks to a diverse selection of options. The palette of materials and finishes ranges from classic to sporty. For an exclusive ambience, you could have the interior of your Macan lined in leather in various ways or have the finish refined with elegant dark walnut. For a theme that places the emphasis on sport, choose Alcantara®, carbon or brushed aluminium. However you personalise the interior of your Macan, remember one thing: there are no limits.

The specific accent strips of the trim on the MacanTurboExclusive Performance Edition are reserved for this model. The carbon interior package can be selected as an option, in which case, the accent strips are omitted.

Macan principle

Let’s begin at the heart. All engines are characterised not only by their impressive performance and high efficiency but, above all, by the typical resonance of Acoustic test chamber in Porsche Development Centre, Weissach their sound, making a particularly strong impression in conjunction with the optional sports exhaust system. The power of the new Macan models is transmitted to the road by active all-wheel drive. This system sets standards for driving dynamics and stability. Mixed tyres are fitted as standard – as seen on the 911 – to deliver even greater traction and agility.

Fitted as standard, 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) lets you experience motorsport-style gear changes, which take place in milliseconds and with no interruption in the flow of power. The system also features a coasting mode, which reduces fuel consumption and emissions where the driving situation allows. To this end, the auto start/stop function, intelligent thermal management and many more efficiency-enhancing measures make a decisive contribution.

The steel spring suspension, fitted as standard, helps to provide the driving precision and performance typical of any Porsche. As an option (standard on MacanTurbo models and the Macan GTS), it can be upgraded to include Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). At the push of a button, the shock absorbers will then respond even more precisely to the current driving style. Air suspension is available for even greater dynamic performance and a high level of ride comfort. With this suspension, the Macan sits 15 mm lower. On the MacanTurbo with performance package, MacanTurboExclusive Performance Edition and Macan GTS, the sports suspension is already 15 mm lower. With optional air suspension, these models then sit a further 10 mm lower.

The three-position ride-height adjustment capability enables you to optimally adapt the Macan to various driving situations.

Optional Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) lets you feel the Macan principle in every corner – and in a particularly intense way. Operating in conjunction with an electronically controlled rear differential lock, the system works by varying the torque distribution to the rear wheels and thereby significantly further improves handling and steering precision. It also increases the agility of the car when it attacks the corner.

Naturally, active safety also follows the Macan principle – and, in doing so, fulfils the requirements of a sports car. Integrated as standard, Porsche Stability Management (PSM) helps to ensure stability at the limits of sporty performance. Typically Porsche, the brakes set standards for deceleration.

Optional driver assistance systems relieve your workload so that you can have more fun. Adaptive cruise control, including Porsche Active Safe (PAS), regulates the speed of your vehicle in line with the speed of the vehicle in front. Lane Change Assist monitors your blind spots, while Lane Keeping Assist monitors your car’s distance to divider line markings on the road.

The distinctly muscular front apron, with the side airblades of the conspicuously large cooling air intakes, is found nowhere else but on the MacanTurbo. It’s a visual promise of thrilling performance. Bi-Xenon main headlights with dynamic cornering lights provide optimum illumination of the road – and therefore a high level of safety. These are supplemented by the stunning four-point LED daytime running lights.

The MacanTurbo also stands out thanks to its front spoiler lip, the design of which is inspired by the 918 Spyder. The direction indicators and position lights have been integrated in such a way that they appear to hover inside the side air intakes. Below them are the LEDs of the fog lights. The sideblades are painted in the exterior colour of the body. SportDesign sideskirts underline the powerful profile. Another typical feature of the Turbo is the ‘Macan turbo’ logo on the rear hatch.

Impressively, the 3.6-litre twin-turbo V6 engine delivers an enormous power output of 294 kW (400 hp). The sprint from 0 – 62 mph is completed in a mere 4.8 seconds. Top speed is 165 mph. Those aren’t simply bare numbers, but a compelling statement in terms of performance – and efficiency.

19-inch MacanTurbo wheels are fitted as standard. Behind these are the red brake calipers of the large-diameter brakes. The steel spring suspension is equipped, as standard, with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), which enhances both sporty performance and ride comfort.

As standard, the MacanTurbo comes with the leather package, which emphasises the exquisite quality of the interior. Another highlight is the new version of Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with navigation module, Connect Plus, and a large touchscreen. It comes as standard, just like the BOSE® Surround Sound System. Offering a total output of 665 watts and with 14 loudspeakers including active subwoofer, it delivers a special listening experience.

MacanTurbo packages

Life is exactly what you make of it. In your leisure time, on the road, and with your Macan. We think that there is no time for compromises. That's why you are able to specify exactly what you want on your MacanTurbo with Performance Package and your MacanTurbo, so that it fits your vision. For example, with both of our MacanTurbo design packages. Why should intensity have limits?

Turbo exterior package

To command a strong presence, it's crucial to have a persuasive demeanour, superior to all else. With the Turbo exterior package (fitted as standard on the MacanTurboExclusive Performance Edition), the Macan hits the road equipped with exclusive 21-inch 911 Turbo Design wheels – highly polished on the outside, painted in black (high-gloss) on the inside – including wheel centres with full-colour Porsche Crest.

The LED main headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus), as well as the tinted LED taillights, catches the eye, whatever time of day it is.

The SportDesign exterior mirrors in the car's colour or the sideblades, the side window trims and air intake grilles are also all in high-gloss black.

Other attention grabbers are the rear apron in black (high-gloss) and the rear spoiler in the car's colour.

The sports exhaust system with sports tailpipes in black gives your MacanTurbo an even more powerful sound. Optional for the MacanTurbo and the MacanTurbo with Performance Package.

Turbo interior package

When you enhance beauty, you eventually elicit exclusivity. That's proven by the Turbo interior package in Garnet Red or Rhodium Silver. The full leather interior in black, with the use of Alcantara® on the seat centres, centre console armrest and door armrests, emphasises this stunning appearance further still. And also underlines something else: we take beauty literally.

The two available contrasting colours of Rhodium Silver and Garnet Red capture the attention and create visual accents – for example, on the headrests with "turbo" logo, seat belts and all the double decorative seams. This exquisite design is completed by decorative strips in carbon and illuminated door sill guards featuring the "Macan turbo" logo – also in carbon. They make one thing crystal clear: such an exclusive driving feel is worthy of an exclusive interior ambience. Optional for the MacanTurbo and MacanTurbo with performance package. On the MacanTurboExclusive Performance Edition, the Turbo interior package in Garnet Red is fitted as standard.

7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)

Would you prefer to experience the gear change or the driving pleasure? No contest. The new Macan is equipped with the 7-speed PDK transmission, which changes gear in fractions of a second with no interruption in the flow of power. The advantage is that, whenever a particular gear is engaged, the next gear is already preselected. As the clutch of the engaged gear opens, the clutch of the target gear closes simultaneously. The effect is a sporty, dynamic and agile driving feel.

The principle of PDK is that, whenever a particular gear is engaged, the next gear is already preselected. As a result, gear changes take place within milliseconds.

Automatic mode is optimised for fuel economy. This means that PDK is able to offer not only a sporty, agile driving feel, but also increased efficiency.

Would you rather change gear manually? You can do this using the two gearshift paddles on the multifunction sports steering wheel, fitted as standard, or using the PDK gear selector.

In conjunction with the optional Sport Chrono Package, the shift times of PDK become even shorter, the gear changes even sportier. Additional gearshift strategies are also available – for uncompromising driving pleasure.

Porsche Traction Management (PTM)

The tremendous dynamic performance of the new Macan is thanks in part to the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) active all-wheel drive system. It comprises an electronic and map-controlled multi-plate clutch, the automatic brake differential (ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR). The electronically controlled multiplate clutch regulates the distribution of drive force between the rear axle and the front axle. Driving conditions are constantly monitored to enable a precise and lightning-quick response to a variety of situations.

Sensors continuously check, among other variables, the rotation speeds of all four wheels, the longitudinal and lateral acceleration of the vehicle, and the steering angle. If, for example, the rear wheels threaten to spin under acceleration, a greater proportion of drive force is distributed to the front by a more powerful engagement of the multiplate clutch. In addition, ASR reduces wheel slip. In corners, the drive force sent to the front wheels is regulated for optimum lateral stability.

In short, PTM transfers the incredible sportiness of the Macan to the road. Behind the wheel, you can feel what it's like to be driving a genuine sports car: traction, driving safety, outstanding steering behaviour, superior handling and, of course, the excellent dynamics typical of any Porsche.

VarioCam Plus System

VarioCam

On all Macan models with petrol engine, the intake and exhaust camshafts are each equipped with a fully variable vane-cell controller for infinite adjustment. This helps to deliver high specific power and high torque – even at low engine speeds – and, above all, reduced fuel consumption and low emissions.

VarioCam Plus

With their twin-turbo V6 engine, the MacanTurbo, Macan GTS and Macan S are additionally equipped with VarioCam Plus. This system switches the lift of the intake valves, resulting in instant acceleration and smooth engine running performance.

Direct fuel injection (DFI)

With millisecond precision, DFI injects fuel at up to 200 bar directly into the combustion chamber by means of electromagnetically actuated injection valves. The spray and cone angles have been optimised for torque, power output, fuel consumption and emissions by enabling a homogeneous distribution of the air/fuel mixture and, therefore, effective combustion. DFI improves the internal cooling of the combustion chamber by having the mixture prepared directly in the cylinder. This allows for a higher compression ratio, which helps to deliver greater power output at the same time as enhanced engine efficiency.

Efficiency-enhancing measures

Auto start/stop function

To improve fuel economy, the auto start/ stop function switches off the engine when you are coming to a stop at traffic lights, for example.

Standard in all Macan models.

Coasting

The coasting function enables you to save even more fuel where the situation allows. The engine is decoupled from the transmission, which avoids the deceleration caused by engine braking. In this way, the vehicle makes optimum use of its own momentum and is able to coast for longer distances. This has real benefits for fuel consumption without any impact on comfort or sporty performance.

Standard in all Macan models.

Thermal management

Engine cooling is prevented during the initial stages of a cold start so that the engine reaches its optimum operating temperature faster. This means it can begin working at high efficiency sooner, thereby consuming less fuel.

Active aerodynamics

The radiator grille shutter opens the cooling air flaps only as needed. Whenever the cooling requirement is low, such as on relaxed drives, the radiator grille shutter closes. Aerodynamics are improved, which helps to improve fuel economy. If, for example, a sporty driving style is adopted and the demand for power increases, the cooling air flaps will open and let in the necessary amount of cooling air for increased driving performance.

Electrical system recuperation

To enhance efficiency, the electrical system in the Macan models is recharged on demand during engine overrun phases. Fuel consumption is thereby reduced, while the full power output of the engine is made available for acceleration phases. You won't notice anything of the process itself, except for the results: optimum power and torque with lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Oil supply

The integrated dry-sump lubrication of the V6 petrol engines guarantees a reliable supply of oil in all driving situations. The oil reservoir is located directly inside the engine, which saves on space and weight. An electronically controlled oil pump provides the correct amount of oil as and when needed. Optimised for sporty driving, it ensures optimum engine lubrication even in extreme situations.

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)

PASM is an electronic damping control system. It actively and continuously adjusts damping force based on current road conditions and driving style. When a car is driven off-road or assertively in a manner that demands hard acceleration and braking, the forces acting on the car will normally induce perceptible body movements. PASM intervenes in these situations to reduce them. You can select from three modes: ‘Comfort’, ‘SPORT’ and ‘SPORT PLUS’.

PASM is permanently active, adapting automatically to the current driving situation with the aim of increasing driving stability and comfort.

Optional for the Macan S, Macan S Diesel and Macan.

Steering

The steering has been engineered for sporty and immediate handling. The tuning of the electromechanical steering system is what makes the Macan models so extraordinarily agile.

It also contributes to low fuel consumption. As there is no hydraulic system constantly drawing power, energy is consumed only when the steering is turned.

Power steering Plus

Optional Power steering Plus is a speedsensitive power steering system. At high speeds, the steering firms up and responds with greater precision, while steering comfort remains outstanding. At low speeds, the steering ratio adjusts for easy manoeuvring and parking.

Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus)

Sports car makers adore corners. With our technologies, we are forever fanning the flames of the relationship. PTV Plus is an optional system for enhancing both driving dynamics and stability.

Operating in conjunction with an electronically regulated rear differential lock, it works by varying the torque distribution to the rear wheels. When the car is driven into a corner, moderate brake pressure is applied to the inside rear wheel as the situation demands. Consequently, a greater amount of drive force is distributed to the outside rear wheel, inducing an additional rotational pulse (yaw movement) around the vehicle’s vertical axis. The effect is a direct and sporty steering action. And considerable driving pleasure at every twist and turn.

At low and medium vehicle speeds, PTV Plus significantly increases agility and steering precision. At high speeds on the straight, and in fast corners where the wheels threaten to spin, the electronically controlled rear differential lock provides added driving stability. Stability is also improved on road surfaces with varying grip as well as in the wet and snow.

Optional for all Macan models.

Sport Chrono Package

The Sport Chrono Package adds a stopwatch with an analogue and a digital display to the cockpit. The performance display in PCM lets you view a range of driving stats, including your total driving time, current lap distance and lap times recorded so far.

The centre console also comes equipped with the SPORT PLUS button, which is used to activate SPORT PLUS mode. In this mode, the engine becomes even more responsive and the rev limiter is adjusted to a harder setting. Porsche Traction Management (PTM) is now tuned for even sportier performance. For cars with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), SPORT PLUS mode results in harder damping and more direct steering. In addition, the trigger threshold for PSM is raised for increased longitudinal and lateral dynamics. The shift times of PDK, fitted as standard, become even shorter, the gear changes even sportier. The optional air suspension automatically drops to Low Level. Launch Control is primed to deliver optimum acceleration from a standing start.

Fitted as standard on the MacanTurbo with performance package and MacanTurboExclusive Performance Edition. Optional for all other Macan models.

Wheels and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Mixed tyres

As with any genuine sports car, the Macan is equipped with wider tyres at the rear – just like the 911. The visual impact is not the only effect: the larger footprint at the rear improves both stability and traction and also enhances agility for intensified contact with the road.

Wheels

For the wheels, too, everything revolves around sporty performance – and style. Accordingly, the Macan serves up some impressive numbers: the wheels look exceptionally large, with optional sizes up to 21 inches.

What they all have in common is their aluminium construction, which saves weight and increases agility. That’s particularly true of the forged 21-inch wheels.

Standard on the Macan: 18-inch Macan wheels. Standard on the Macan S and Macan S diesel: 18-inch Macan S wheels. The MacanTurbo is fitted with 19-inch MacanTurbo wheels as standard. The Macan GTS hits the road equipped with 20-inch RS Spyder Design wheels in satin black. On the MacanTurboExclusive Performance Edition, 21-inch 911 Turbo Design wheels with lateral spokes painted in black (high-gloss) come as standard, as part of the Turbo exterior package.

Tyres

All tyres have been optimised for driving performance, handling, rolling resistance and weight. The rubber compound, tread pattern and the carcass architecture have been designed for the least rolling resistance possible in order to reduce fuel consumption.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM)

Tyre Pressure Monitoring sends warnings to the on-board computer’s display screen in the event of low tyre pressure or a gradual or sudden loss of pressure. The multifunction display in the instrument cluster gives you a quick and convenient way to check your tyre pressures.

Braking system

At Porsche, we also set ourselves high standards for braking performance. So it goes without saying that our brake systems are super-sized and adapted to the high power output of the engine.

The Macan models are equipped with sixpiston aluminium monobloc fixed brake calipers at the front. The brake discs are internally vented for consistently high braking power even during continuous use.

To cope with the performance capability of the Macan models, the brake discs fitted to the front axle are up to 390 mm in diameter.

The brake calipers of the Macan are black. On the Macan S diesel and Macan S Turbo – silver-coloured. On the Macan GTS and MacanTurbo models, they are red.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)

As an option, you can have your Macan equipped with the track-proven Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB).

The cross-drilled ceramic brake discs have a diameter of 396 mm at the front axle and a thickness of 38 mm. At the rear, they are 370 mm in diameter and 30 mm thick.

The key advantage is that the brake discs are approximately 50 % lighter than standard discs of similar design and size. Enhanced performance and fuel economy are not the only noticeable benefits: above all, it represents a major reduction in unsprung and rotating masses. The results are improved handling, better roadholding and increased comfort.

Lighting concept

Bi-Xenon main headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)

The Bi-Xenon main headlights feature automatic and dynamic range control, which provides uniform illumination of the road whether dipped or main beam is selected. The dynamic cornering light function swivels the headlights towards the inside of a bend based on the steering angle and road speed. The static cornering lights activate the auxiliary headlights so as to light up more of the road at tight bends and turns. In short: a greater part of the road ahead is illuminated the moment you enter a bend.

Standard in the MacanTurbo with performance package and MacanTurbo.

Ultra-exclusive accents are added by the optionally available Bi-Xenon main headlights in black including PDLS. On the Macan GTS, the inner trims are also finished in black.

Standard for the MacanTurboExclusive Performance Edition, MacanTurbo with performance package and Macan GTS. Optional for all other Macan models.

LED taillights

The three-dimensional design of the LED taillights pays homage to the 918 Spyder super sports car and lends an impressive appearance of depth. At the same time, they are especially responsive and powerful – and that means added safety. In the event of panic braking, the adaptive LED brake lights begin to pulsate, alerting following traffic more quickly to a critical situation. The third brake light is integrated in the roof spoiler.

Tinted LED taillights are also available: fitted as standard on the MacanTurboExclusive Performance Edition (as part of the Turbo exterior package) and Macan GTS and available as an option for every Macan. A sporty accent that leaves an impression.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM)

PSM is an electronic control system that maintains stability – and increases driving safety – even at the limits of sporty performance.

Sensors continuously monitor driving direction, speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration. PSM actively intervenes to stabilise the vehicle when necessary by strategically applying the brakes at individual wheels. That’s not all. If the driver suddenly releases the accelerator pedal, PSM primes the brake system for a higher state of readiness. Maximum braking power is therefore achieved much sooner. Integral ABS is optimised for short braking distances.

Airbags

All Macan models are equipped, as standard, with full-size airbags for the driver and front passenger. These are supplemented by the Porsche Side Impact Protection System (POSIP).

It comprises side airbags in the front seats, curtain airbags along the entire roof frame and the side windows from the A-pillar to the C-pillar, and side impact protection elements in the doors. Side airbags are available as an option for the rear compartment.

Two auxiliary sensors in the bumper help to detect frontal collisions. A cluster of acceleration and yaw rate sensors detects a threat of rollover and triggers the curtain airbags and seat belt pretensioners.

Engineered body design

The use of ultra- and super-high-strength steels makes a crucial contribution to safety and, at the same time, purposefully encapsulates the principle of lightweight construction.

The forces exerted in the event of a frontal impact are dispersed by a system of longitudinal and transverse members. Reinforcements in ultra-high-strength steel provide additional protection for occupants in the event of a side impact.

The concept also sees the use of multiphase steels. High strength and clearly defined deformability are two qualities that they have in common. The passenger cell is a cage formed of hightech steels and offers a considerable level of protection.

Interior architecture

Five doors. Five seats. Excellent everyday practicality – and an elevated sitting position. That’s what you can expect of an SUV. Now let’s consider what you can expect of a Porsche: sports car sensations.

You get in – and find the ignition lock closest to the door. It’s typically Porsche, and has been since 1948. An old motorsport tradition.

The interior architecture integrates you perfectly into the vehicle. This is exemplified by the three-dimensional arrangement of the controls and the ascending centre console with control buttons for the most important comfort functions. The layout emulates that of the Carrera GT – it’s as if you’re sitting in a sports car.

The multifunction sports steering wheel with 918 Spyder design provides the ideal hands-on experience. Its appearance is futuristic and its design highly ergonomic. Gearshift paddles as well as multifunction buttons for telephone, radio and on-board computer offer high levels of user comfort. Steering wheel heating is available as an option.

Sports car genes are also inherent in the three round instruments. The rev counter is positioned in the centre, exactly where it belongs in a sports car. In this way, you can see all the essentials at a glance when you’re on the move – and keep up to speed with all relevant information.

Take the high-resolution 4.8-inch colour screen in the instrument cluster as an example. It displays messages from the on-board computer and – in conjunction with the new version of PCM with optional navigation module – shows the map of the navigation system.

The seats offer racing-style support and a high degree of seating comfort. In cars with the driver memory package or comfort memory package, you can store personalised seat, steering wheel and exterior mirror settings. Your car will then adapt automatically to you. In the Macan GTS, exclusive eight-way Sports seats convey the thrilling feel typical of a genuine sports car, while ‘GTS’ logos embroidered on the headrests catch the eye. Even more exclusive: the Turbo interior package comes with a full leather interior in black, selected items in Alcantara®, embroidered ‘turbo’ logos and precisely defined contrasts.

The use of exquisite materials such as leather brings exclusivity to ordinary life. In the MacanTurbo with performance package and MacanTurbo, the adaptive Sports seats with 18-way adjustment are completely upholstered in leather. On request, you can refine even more interior features of your Macan with Alcantara®, leather, wood, carbon or aluminium.

Standard on-board features include threezone automatic climate control as well as remote central locking with remote closing.

On principle, all controls are ergonomically arranged for speedy access to desired functions.

Practicality is also assured by storage solutions in the front and rear doors. Even large bottles are accommodated.

The large luggage compartment offers a loading capacity of 500 litres. The rear bench seat has a split-folding ratio of 40 : 20 : 40. With the seats fully folded, available capacity increases to 1,500 litres.

Optional in the MacanTurbo with performance package for Macan models.

Adaptive Sports seats with comfort memory package (18-way)

The adaptive Sports seats with comfort memory package combine ultimate seating comfort with racing-style support. Their side bolsters are particularly high and prominently contoured. Offering 18-way electric adjustment, the seats can be optimally adapted to meet your needs in terms of seat height, squab and backrest angle, squab length, fore/aft adjustment and four-way lumbar support. The steering column is also electrically adjustable. The following functions can be memorised: driver and front passenger seat positions, including lumbar support and steering wheel and exterior mirror positions.

Standard on MacanTurbo models. Optional for all Macan models.

Exclusive to the Turbo interior package: contrasts in Garnet Red or Rhodium Silver and selected items in Alcantara®. And, adding further accents, the ‘turbo’ logo embroidered on the headrests.

Turbo interior package is an option for the MacanTurbo with performance package and MacanTurbo. Fitted as standard on the MacanTurboExclusive Performance Edition.

Seat/steering wheel heating.

Seat ventilation

Optional seat ventilation for the front provides even greater comfort on long journeys and in the summer. (Only available in conjunction with seat heating, comfort memory package or adaptive Sports seats.) Not compatible with seat centres in Alcantara®.

Optional for all Macan models.

Rear seats

The rear bench seat has a three-way split-folding ratio – and folds down fully if required. The versatile centre seat doubles as a through-loading facility for long cargo items and for the optional ski bag. It additionally contains the folding armrest, which features two extra cupholders when combined with the optional storage package. Operation of the rear bench seat is totally straightforward: release, fold – done.

Child seats

Offering comfort and safety for all passengers up to 12 years of age (or up to 36 kg in weight) – with high safety standards and a unique design. The child seats have been specially tested and approved in Porsche vehicles. For added safety, the Porsche Baby Seat and Porsche Junior Seat ISOFIX come with their own five-point harness. For further information about child seats, please refer to the Macan Tequipment catalogue.

ISOFIX mounting points* are available on the outer rear seats as standard, while the additional top-tether belt attachment is a standard feature on all rear seats.

Porsche Active Safe (PAS)

This system regulates the speed of your vehicle in line with the speed of the vehicle in front and brakes your vehicle automatically – if necessary, even down to a halt. As soon as the road ahead clears, your vehicle will accelerate back up to the cruising speed originally set. Selectable cruising speeds range from 18 to 130 mph. If required, your car can even brake itself to a complete stop behind the vehicle in front in situations such as congested traffic. To pull away again, all it takes is for the driver to give a brief start command using the control lever or accelerator pedal.

Integrated Porsche Active Safe (PAS) is designed to detect whether you are approaching the vehicle in front too quickly. In this event, you will be prompted to take the necessary action by an audible and visual warning as well as a jolt of the brakes. The system may even boost brake pressure as the situation demands, even to the point of the maximum braking force that the system is able to provide.

Optional for all Macan models.

Assistance systems

Speed limit indicator

The speed limit indicator informs you of speed restrictions and the start and end of ‘no overtaking’ zones detected by the integral camera.

The information is shown on the TFT screen in the instrument cluster and on the screen of PCM. If a road sign is missed – for example due to heavy rain or darkness – the speed limit stored in the navigation module is automatically displayed.

The benefit of this function is that it allows you to concentrate better on the road ahead.

Optional for all Macan models.

ParkAssist

ParkAssist warns you of obstacles detected to the front and rear of the vehicle. Its sensors are integrated harmoniously in the front and rear end. The audible alert is supplemented by a bird’s eye graphical representation of the vehicle on the central display screen showing the proximity to these obstacles.

Optional for all Macan models.

Reversing camera

The reversing camera facilitates precise reverse parking and manoeuvring and also assists in hitching a trailer. Help is provided in the form of the camera image and the dynamic, superimposed guidelines on the PCM screen, which illustrate the predicted course of the vehicle given the current position of the steering wheel.

Optional for all Macan models.

Surround View

With Surround View, four cameras located in the front end, exterior mirrors and rear generate an all-round image of the car and its immediate surroundings. In PCM, the driver can choose between a bird’s eye view, side view and corner view.

Optional for all Macan models.

Anti-theft protection

All Macan models are equipped with an engine immobiliser. It works in response to an automatic exchange of data between the key and vehicle electronics. Upon correct identification, the engine start will be authorised by the engine electronics.

The Macan models can be optionally equipped with an alarm system including ultrasonic interior surveillance. In the MacanTurbo, the alarm system is fitted as standard, and ultrasonic interior surveillance can be added on request.

The security system monitors all four doors, the bonnet, the entire tailgate, the interior, the ignition and any trailer that you have hitched to the car.

PorscheExclusive Manufaktur

Our wealth of experience goes back a long way. Since the very beginning, we at Porsche have been dedicated to realising customer wishes as part of our special request service. Known until 1986 as the Porsche ‘Sonderwunschprogramm’, today we call it PorscheExclusive Manufaktur. The philosophy has remained the same. Hand on heart.

We love what we do. We love our work. Every seam, every square inch of leather, and every single other fine detail receives the same devotion. It’s how we bring dreams to life. And how we create something unique. Directly from the Manufaktur.

None of this would be possible without originality, inspiration and enthusiasm, beginning as early as the consultation stage. That’s because we keep in mind one thing above all else: your particular wishes and requirements. We fulfil them with composure and meticulous care, by means of precision handcrafting and the use of exquisite materials such as leather, Alcantara®, carbon, fine wood or aluminium.

Added value is achieved through dedication and finesse. In other words, we handcraft a product that blends sporty performance, comfort and style and reflects your own personal taste. A Porsche with your signature touch.

We offer a wide range of personalisation options, with visual and technical enhancements for the interior and exterior, from a single alteration to extensive modifications.

We demonstrate this with the MacanTurboExclusive Performance Edition. It combines sportiness and design in a very special way. The red accent strips on the exterior trim painted in black (high-gloss) further emphasise the already extremely sporty appearance of the Turbo exterior package.

This concept is also reflected in the interior. As well as the red accent strips on the decorative elements, the edge of the Sport Chrono stopwatch comes in Garnet Red (satin finish) and the PDK gear selector is also trimmed in Garnet Red leather, for example.

Exhaust emission control

Efficiency

The basic premise of any Porsche is power. It's been that way ever since 1948. But there has always been another principle: efficiency. Again, since 1948. We remain committed to both, and we always will.

In addition to our pursuit of efficient engine technologies, such as the turbochargers used across the model range, we routinely rely on innovative, lightweight materials, we are constantly developing our production techniques and functionalities and, as we do so, we are continuously refining our concepts.

How does this benefit you as the driver? Greater agility with increased dynamic performance – and lower fuel consumption. Now that's efficiency.

Exhaust emissions

The Macan once again demonstrates that even high-performance sports cars can achieve comparatively moderate emission values. The state-of-the-art engines of the Macan model range reach their optimum operating temperature soon after start-up, thanks to the rapid heating of the catalytic converter system. Emissions are thereby reduced, while tyres optimised for low rolling resistance play their part by lowering fuel consumption. All models in the Macan range fulfil the Euro 6 emission standard, of course.

The petrol models are equipped with stereo Lambda control circuits. These are used by the electronic engine management to determine the optimum amount of fuel for effective emission control.

Emission control in the Macan S Diesel is realised by the interaction of a diesel particulate filter and the SCR system. AdBlue® technology helps to achieve a significant reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions.

Fuel and fuel economy

Fuel and fuel consumption

Doing more with comparatively less – another philosophy that the new Macan models live and breathe. The petrol models are designed to operate on fuels with an ethanol content of up to 10%. Ethanol has a positive impact on the CO2 balance because this biofuel is manufactured from plants, which absorb CO2 from the atmosphere in order to grow.

Fuel system

In the petrol models, even the emissions of the fuel system itself are minimised for the protection of the environment. Evaporative emissions are significantly reduced by the returnless supply system. Vapour-carrying lines are made from multi-layered plastic, while a high-capacity active carbon filter and the fuel tank also feature a multi-layered construction in order to make everything as impermeable as possible.

Noise reduction

The characteristic Porsche sound may drive our passion, but acoustics is yet another area in which we continuously strive for optimisation.

Stiff components and lightweight, temperature-stable materials minimise play between parts and therefore mechanical noise. Voluminous silencers and air induction systems reduce noise levels further – and that's over the course of the entire service life.

In collaboration with tyre manufacturers, we are managing to reduce the rolling noise of tyres, while aerodynamic refinements keep wind noise as low as possible. What's left? The Porsche sound, pure and simple.

Materials and recycling

Servicing

Long-life and hard-wearing materials reduce maintenance items to a minimum. At the time of an oil filter change, for example, only the recycling-friendly paper insert needs to be exchanged and not the entire housing.

The use of individual ignition coils in petrol engines makes the entire ignition system, except for the spark plugs, wear- and maintenance-free. The advantage for you: if it doesn't need replacing, it doesn't need to be disposed of. Not only does this support the responsible management of resources and the environment, it also saves you time and money.

The maintenance intervals of the Macan models nevertheless depend on various factors, including the local fuel grade. For exact information, please refer to the price list published in your country or consult your Porsche Centre.

Materials and recycling

A Porsche is a source of long-lasting pleasure for our customers and a refreshing change for their environment. This Porsche principle can be summed up in one word: sustainability.

Here's just one example: the exhaust system of the Macan models is made from extremely corrosion-resistant stainless steel – and purposefully manufactured on the principles of lightweight construction. In addition, our cars are free from CFCs and parts manufactured with the use of CFCs. In all, they are over 95 % recoverable. Naturally, all statutory recycling requirements are fulfilled. The labelling of materials facilitates future sorting for excellent recycling.

On the subject of recycling, there is plenty of time before it is even needed. Two-thirds of all Porsche cars ever built are still being driven today. What better way to conserve resources?

* The latest Porsche models are designed to operate on fuels with an ethanol content of up to 10%.
